Abstract

A data processor comprises an instruction decode unit (119) for receiving operation codes from an instruction memory (103).
A second decoder (114) of the instruction decode unit (119) decodes an operation code for a multiply-add operation, and a second operation unit (117) receives 2 data stored in a register file (115) to perform the multiply-add operation. In parallel with the operations of the second decoder (114) and the second operation unit (117), a first decoder (113) of the instruction decode unit (119) decodes an operation code for 2 data load, and an operand access unit (104) causes 2 data (e.g., n bits each) stored in an internal data memory (105) to be transferred in parallel in the form of combined 2n-bit data to a first operation unit (116). Then, two predetermined registers of the register file (115) store the respective n-bit data from the first operation unit (116).
